Chocolate Blueberry Muffins (and then some chocolate fun!)

We’re skipping the GF bars I made last night and talking about the muffins I made this afternoon! They were really fun.

The husband was off watching the Colt’s game (Go Horse) while I was left at home to do laundry and pick-up. Really, I’m not complaining – he does his fair share! There’s just something about being confined in a bar/restaurant for an entire game, or more – watching football with guys. At least when I’m at home I can hop on Facebook or check the weather. There’s freedom at home. When you’re at the bar – you are at the mercy of the men you are with. So, that is why I stayed home on this particular day and baked. (Really that’s all I wanted to do anyway!)

I wanted something that wasn’t too sweet but had a satisfying taste to it – muffins were so the answer. So get ready, I took a lot of pictures!

Alright, your oven’s warm, your muffins are ready – time to bake! Put them in for about 25-30 mins. But make sure to check them with a skewer or toothpick – mine were done at about 22 minutes! You don’t want to dry out these sweet morsels of greatness! You will want a small crumb left over on your toothpick/skewer when you check on ’em.

While your muffins are baking – its time to melt the chocolate. Although you want to time it perfectly so your chocolate is done when the muffins are. After you melt it, let it cool a bit so we can drizzle our muffins.

And I have a fun trick! Take a measuring cup and pop in a sandwich bag, like so:

When you are ready to decorate the muffins, fill the bag with the chocolate, cut the top off, and you got-yo-self a pastry bag to pipe with! Make sure to cut a small hole, or you will have super huge chocolate streaks … which is what I did. But more chocolate is ok right? Before you start on the muffins, make sure you have taken them OUT of the tin, if you let them cool in the tin, they will get soggy. So, after you’ve taken them out, have some fun!

This picture is real bright, but here is one after I cut into it … ha – it’s after I BIT into it! :) You want to see lots of air pockets – this makes it yummy-er.

And … if you have leftover chocolate in your bag, like I did – and don’t want to waste it, like I did … make some chocolate treats! Sam totally thought I was weird – but I don’t want the chocolate to go to waste!

I want to melt chocolate all the time and see what else I come up with – that part was fun!

**I also intended to do some with Mitsch Design, my employer – but turns out I can’t spell and forgot to include the “C” in Mitsch. Ha … I wonder how many people saw that before I took the image down!?**
